Question

When going on holiday have you seen any one you know, other than the people you were going with?

My friend was on the same flight to Spain as our science teacher.

While i was at the airport i saw a girl who used to go to my school.

Anyone else seen any one they know while going on holiday?

Answer 1

Heya!

Cool question! :]

Yep I have in fact seen someone I know on holiday!

I was at the airport because I was going to Hurghada in Egypt and we were in WHSmiths at the airport and I bumped into this older girl from my school! She is in the year above me! I know her from the gymnastics club at my school..it was so cool! We went around lots of the shops together and bought loads of sweets, magazines, and some makeup which cost a fortune! Our mums went crazy! Heehee ;]

We are now really good friends! We're flight buddies!  Sadly she was going to Spain but we had a great time at the airport! Go us Amie..flight buddies for life!

Answer 3

I was visiting Jordon in May -  whilst visiting Petra, I met a lady from the same village as me.

Answer 4

Yes, and I got really embarrassed because of it - I saw my Grandparents while on holiday, and I walked straight past them! I didn't know they were going away let alone going to the same place I was. I've never lived that one down!

Answer 5

Yeah I always bump into someone I know while on holiday. Last year I bumped into one of my neighbours (who I cant stand) while on holiday in Marbella. She then sort of latched onto us and we we're stuck with her for the next four days till she went home.

Answer 6

Yes, most of the time! Occassionally, it's someone I'm not too keen on.......then they'll come up & say they'll have a drink with you......& you're thinking, we don't really like each other at home, so, why bother on holiday?

Sometimes we see famous people too.

At Christmas, while in Benidorm we bumped into Ricky Tomlinson, he was very friendly & was on our flight returning home - he entertained everyone lol.

In 2007 we saw some of the cast of Benidorm.  Saw them filming on the beach.

In Peurto Banus & Marbella, we've seen Paul O'Grady & Cilla Black sat at a street cafe.

David Beckham in Marbella (had a huge crowd around him)

Alan Sugar also in Marbella.

Can't wait to go back in August to see who else we can spot!

Answer 7

We were leaving Florence in Italy on the day, and just walking along the street near the big cathedral there, the Duomo, and I saw a man who looked uncannily like one my mother's neighours. I let it go, then I saw his wife! So I called out to them, and we were all there 'What are you doing here?!'

I was in Munich in Germany some years ago and while in the U-Bahn, I saw a girl who was a few years ahead of me in school, she saw me, and we waved at each other. A few weeks later (turned out we were both living there at the time) we saw each other again, at the same station.

But the best one was this. I had met this Australian woman in Munich, she was one of those incredibly bubbly people who had a way of bringing groups together, and when she moved on on her travels, she and I swapped addresses (this was long before the days of the Internet) and afterwards wrote to each other a few times. About a year later I was in Salzburg, and was joking with some other Australians about who you bump into again, so as they were from Sydney, I was asking them as a joke, 'do you know ...?' They didn't know the first three names, but when I mentioned the woman I met in Munich, they say yes! and one of them said she was her best friend .... Mad. It's a small world. But then she was that kind of personality ...

Answer 11

When I travelled to Dominican Republic, after the plane landed, I turned around to notice that a girl I used to be working with was sitting right behind me, and I had not noticed in the whole 4 hours flight...

We were also sitting quite close when we came back.

It's a small world...

Answer 12

When we were flying home from my sister's wedding, we saw a guest who attended the wedding and he was on our flight.  He was ultimately going to Hawaii while we were going to Cincinnati.  I would much have preferred to fly to Hawaii.

Answer 13

I grew up in St. Louis.  I bumped into my high school best friend's uncle and aunt in Chicago (about 300 miles away) while I was in college.

When I was in my 20s I didn't live in St. Louis anymore but bought a plane ticket from St. Louis-Berlin.  In the airport I bumped into a girl I knew from high school who was coming back from London, and getting married the next day.  But that may not count since, while I was 250 miles from where I lived at the time, I was only like 15 miles from where she and I went to school together.

Another friend of mine went to Germany in high school, and bumped into a guy who had graduated from our high school the year before.

Answer 14

A girl who was in my year at school was on the same plane.

I already knew she'd be on it though because we'd spoken about our holidays once. My mum and dad try to book places away from people we know ;) lol

Answer 15

Yep - I'm from the South of England and I went to Edinburgh once on holiday. I was looking at the Stave Church, and I  turned around quickly and bumped straight into one of the guys from work who I didn't know was also on holiday in Scotland that week.  

Best one was told to me by my mate. He used to work for a travel agents in Bath here in the UK. One of his female colleagues left, he didn't know to where, and he had to go to New Zealand on a travel sampling trip himself a month or two later. He flew to NZ and got into a cab at Auckland airport and felt thirsty, so after ten or 15 minutes of travel out into the suburbs he finally asked the cab driver to stop at some little nothing store they were passing. He went in and asked for a coke, and then turned to leave and get back into the cab. Behind him was the girl he knew from the UK travel agency.

Good eh?

I suspect that there are only about 500 people in the whole world, really, so if you know 200 of them you're obviously going to see them all over the place. It's only logical.
